The story of ex-city banker, Bill (Rufus Jones), who has had a mighty fall from grace after an 'episode' saw him strut naked across the trading floor. He's forced to seek financial assistance from his wayward brother, Sinclair (Dan Skinner).

Sinclair takes great delight in this new turn of events, especially as Bill's wife Francesca knows nothing of her husband's sticky situation...

Notes

Previously known as Scoundrels.
